Diabetes prevention is effective but it presents many different faces creating unknown challenges, such as medical and psychological, but also shows political, economical, social and environmental expressions. Currently there are numerous diabetes prevention concepts which can be implemented into clinical practice in various countries worldwide, but we lack the exchange of their ideas, experiences and often problems with management.

The 6^th WCPD provides a great opportunity to enable a more effective communication between all people interested in diabetes prevention and its management. Here we have the opportunity to learn from the experiences of others especially discussing barriers encountered during prevention programme implementation. To achieve this, action is needed not only in the field of policy making but also in the development of targeted intervention programmes which address the needs of people with an increased risk of diabetes, clinical- and community-based healthcare professionals and the general population.
